We made a short video to give you some tips on making a quick coleslaw when you don’t want to be shredding cabbage all day. What a mess that always is!

Literally takes minutes to make this coleslaw; hence the name Quick Coleslaw! 😂
Enjoy!
The Indiana University students are back! We observed many a mom and dad walking alongside their new college student. Boy, that sure brought back memories of me choking up all the way home from Missouri and Georgia.
My kids both left home within a year of each other and I found myself walking by their bedrooms to say something then would quickly realize they weren’t there.
I ended up just shutting their doors. 🗣😭
Leaving our babies behind, wondering when we’ll see them next is a difficult transition. And many of us are/were going through menopause at the same time! 😳 I always said it was God’s cruel joke! We put in all these years of hard work, making lunches, sewing costumes, throwing parties, working in their classrooms, for all of it to come down to moments like this. This is when we do double duty praying that our kids meet professors that align with their upbringing, meet encouraging friends that have the same morals, that their minds only be open to things that will help them grow and become the people they were destined to be.
We’ve worked with college ministries as well as international students. And can you imagine leaving your child in another country? 🙀
We pray our young people come to know God and make a change in this world just by being who God always intended them to be.🙏 .
I realized my husband was coming home soon and I hadn’t finished (or even started) cooking dinner,🤦🏼♀️ so I quickly ran to look for things. I had steaks for the grill but needed a vegetable side dish.
In the freezer, I found some cauliflower that I had forgotten about. I had quickly chopped then threw it in the freezer as we had to leave for Georgia when we heard our first grandbaby was coming!
I had just bought a bunch of groceries, so I quickly cooked up a lot of things and froze the rest. I also found some fresh broccoli and half a jar of Cheeze Whiz, ricotta and whipping cream from previous dinners. So, away I went creating something quick while trying to use up all these items so they wouldn’t go to waste. I hate waste, don’t you?
Anyhow, it ended up being so delicious we kept going back for more. (And my husband usually won’t eat cauliflower.) One of the yummiest, quickest vegetable dishes I’ve ever made quite honestly.
Hope you can whip it up as quick as I did. 🌪 Or get your kids to eat it by making it taste like mac n cheese ha! 👍🏼
Feel free to substitute some ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 small head of cauliflower
1/2 head of broccoli
1/2 small jar of Cheese Whiz
1/2 C shredded sharp cheese
1/4 C ricotta cheese
1/2 C heavy cream
Seasonings to taste:
garlic powder
onion powder
black pepper
smoked paprika
croutons, seasoned breadcrumbs or herbed stuffing (like I had leftover from last Thanksgiving. ) 😳
2 pads of butter
Instructions:
Boil veggies 🥦 till tender but not mushy. Drain, then add to a deep pan. (Use something you can later transfer to the oven.)
Over medium heat, Stir in the Cheeze Whiz, cream, and spices to taste.
*Remember the Cheeze Whiz is mighty salty already so watch how much extra seasoning you add!
You may have to soften some of this in the microwave before adding to your vegetable pan.
But hold back the shredded cheese for later. 🤚🏼
Gently mix everything together so as not to break up the tender veggies.
Now top with your croutons or stuffing 😁 and the shredded cheese.
Lastly, add your pads of butter and place in the oven broiling till slightly brown.
*Be careful to set a 5 min timer ⏱ or you might burn it like I do most things when I quickly want to “brown” something! 🔥🤦🏻♀️
NOTE: This can be keto friendly by shredding your own cheese and omitting the croutons.
Enjoy!

Hey guys, I’m a new grandma! (Yep, I’m getting THAT old!😁) This is my first grandchild ever!
We quickly packed our bags and took a trip down to Georgia because the baby was coming sooner than expected. She wasn’t expected till around the 21st so we were pretty surprised. But after a visit to the doctor, and some blood pressure concerns, they decided to admit my daughter-in-law that night. She was induced the next day. We were concerned at first but everything ended up going fairly well…
Well, it was hard on mommy and she pretty much delivered naturally. Poor thing. She’s awesome!
So, the baby was born July 10th and four days later they all came home. At first the baby was a little jaundice, so they had to check all her numbers each day. And she slept under a little UV blanket a few times.
Now they’re just trying to get the baby to sleep which is so difficult!😴 My son didn’t sleep but six hours till he was 10 months old.
He never took a pacifier, nor a bottle, and he cried a lot! It’s a miracle I chose to even have a second child after that.
Dead. 💀
Dead, I tell ya. I was a walking zombie for 10 months! 🧟♀️
So please indulge me while I share cute photos of my new, grandbaby, girl

New aunt right there! You’d think it was HER baby she was so excited!
